But simply a 2D TVC airframe testbed.
We know of the existence of a 2D WS-15 J-20 testbed if you insist that it has to be the WS-15, but for general developmental testing a J-35/A would suffice I reckon.
We know?

Well, not by direct evidence.We know?![]()
Another interesting tidbits I heard. Supposedly the following engine variants do exist and are for the J-20:
WS-10CXX
No TVC WS-15
2D TVC WS-15
3D TVC WS-15
Well, not by direct evidence.
From some time ago:
I don't see why it's out of the realm of possibility. It may not get mass-produced, but for R&D purposes it absolutely makes sense to have them.
Weren't they flying too close to be real?Two J-XDS spotted during test flight. Looks real?

I didn't save the video but the air distortion behind the two planes looked identical so I thought it was fake. But it would be interesting if it was true though since Xi is visiting Shenyang these few days.Two J-XDS spotted during test flight. Looks real?

It could be both. Also it could be the video was doctored, i.e., there was only one plane, the second was a duplicate.He’s there because leadership visits regular and impoverished households before Chinese New Year.
